 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a
dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of
cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check
the manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.
Do not leave the dishwasher open when not loading or unloading
dishes.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the
dishwasher.
Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended
by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or
on the dishwasher.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, before using the
dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
This product is intended for residential use only.
This product is not intended for use by persons (including
children) whose physical, sensory, or mental capacities are
different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge,
unless such persons are supervised or trained in the operation of
the apparatus by a person responsible for your safety.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■ For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if
you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
■ For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the dishwasher.

 WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

DISHWASHER MAINTENANCE
Detergents
High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended
for improved performance.
Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder,
liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using
tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white
film. They are suitable for all water hardness and soil levels. Also,
by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white
film (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place
premeasured detergents in main compartment and close lid.
The Pre-Wash indicator on the dispenser lid is for customers
who use powder or gel detergent and wish to add an amount of
detergent to the Pre-Wash cycle. The volume of detergent added
here is approximately 8 cubic centimeters, if filled full and level.
Any detergent added here would be immediately added to the
wash when the cycle starts versus detergent inside the dispenser
which is added during the main wash cycle.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just
before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry
place.
■ Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S.
gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher and
make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is
recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results.
■ For more details about powders, liquids, and gels and hard
water conditions consult the brand website.
Rinse aid
Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance.
This dishwasher is specifically designed to be used with rinse aid
for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard
water deposits. Rinse aid needs to be added to the product every
1 to 3 months depending on usage.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide or brand website for information
about filling the rinse aid dispenser.
Cycle Selection and Energy
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy,
just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time
is approximately 21/2 hours, but can take less or significantly
more time depending on your selections and incoming water
temperature and amount of food soils on the dishes. For
optimum performance the dishwasher should be connected to a
120°F (49°C) hot water supply.
If you first press the Start button, the main sensor cycle with
heated drying will be automatically selected. This cycle senses
the soil amount, and toughness of soil, to adjust the cycle for
improved cleaning.
Sanitize or Sani
Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF
International NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential
Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended
for licensed food establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have
been designed to meet the requirements of the NSF/ANSI
184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization
efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that
all cycles on a NSF/ANSI 184 certified dishwasher meet the
NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for
sanitization efficacy. The Sani Rinse indicator glows at the end
of the cycle if the Sani Rinse option was successfully completed.
If the indicator does not activate, it is probably due to the cycle
being interrupted.

 DISHWASHER LOADING TIPS
NOTE: Features are model specific. Your dishwasher may not have all features described. See Quick Start Guides for possible
dishwasher loading patterns for all dish racks.
Silverware Baskets Sliding Bowl Tines

Style 1
Style 3

The sliding bowl tines allow you to easily load bowls of multiple
sizes. Grab the moveable tine row in the lower rack and slide into
Style 2 the desired position.
Use silverware basket lids to provide optimal spacing and best Fold Down Tines
cleaning performance.
NOTE: If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots,
open the lids (Style 1/3) or lift on the ends of the lids and pull to
remove (Style 2). Mix silverware types to keep them separated.
Load knives down, forks up, and alternate spoons for best
cleaning results.
Removing Upper Racks
In order to make space for tall items, your upper racks are
removable. The manner in which to remove will depend on
whether the rack is mounted with Style 1 or Style 2. Remove
dishes prior to removing any racks.

Style 1
To remove the rack, pull the rack forward about halfway out of
the tub. On one side, press the tab on the track in and pull up
the front end of the rack, out of the track. Then repeat this step
on the other side to completely remove the front end of the rack.
Then remove the rack by pulling the back end out using a forward
and upward motion.
To replace the rack, Push back of rack into rail first and then push
front down.
Fold down tines allow you to optimize the spacing in the rack.
Fold down tines might be in the lower rack, the second level rack
and/or third level rack depending on your model. To fold or unfold
the tine, hold the tine nearest the clip at the end of the tine row
and gently push it past the stop on the clip and in the direction
you want to fold it.
Stemware Holder
Use the stemware holders to support wine glasses and other
stemware. Push them up to rotate them out of the way when not
needed.
Stemware
Holder

Rack
Cup Shelf
Track Stop

Style 2

To remove the rack, pull the rack out until it stops. On the left and
right side of the rack, push the plastic track stops on the front of
the rail sideways to open them. Pull out the rack.
To replace the rack, push the rack back onto the rails. Push the
track stops closed.

Use the cup shelf to hold additional cups or small items. Push up
to fold out of the way when not needed.

 DISHWASHER CARE
Interior Cleaning
Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on
dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this
residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher
performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as
affresh®† Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue.
Monthly use of affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to
help maintain the dishwasher. Follow package directions.
NOTE: We recommend the use of high-quality, premeasured
detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher
cleaning and daily care.
Countertop Air Gap
If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher
isn't draining well.
†affresh® is a registered trademark of Whirlpool, U.S.A.
Extended Time Without Use
To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation or
Extended Time Without Use
■ When you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer
months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.
■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase
water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or
home.
■ Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild
detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior
of the dishwasher. Abrasive cleaning products can damage the
finish.
Troubleshooting
The brand website listed on the Quick Start Guide has detailed
information to troubleshoot most problems customers encounter.
This information may save you the cost of a service call.
Foreign Object Cup
If the Foreign Object Cup is full the Quick Start Guide or the
brand website listed on the Quick Start Guide has detailed
information about how to empty it.
